There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away, Nor any Coursers like a Page Of prancing Poetry – This Traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll – How frugal is the Chariot That bears a Human soul.

64. Love You Soldier
By Amy Hest
Rated ★★
This book was really just a short story as it was only 47 pages long and was written for very young readers. While I often enjoy children's books just as much as any other child, this was not one of them.
The story of a young girl in New York whose father is killed in WWII just never came together for me. It could have been very touching had the author had her act together when she wrote it.
